For the San Francisco SPCA, our 2015-2016 fiscal year was exciting (July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016). We celebrated more adoptions, more foster pets, more children in our Humane Education programs, more free vaccines given to pets in underserved areas of the city... more of almost everything compared with the previous fiscal year.

We receive no government funding, so it’s thanks to you that we can make an extraordinary difference in the lives of animals in San Francisco and beyond.

Asilomar Accords and Partnership Reports

In order to accurately track each animal and our progress, the SF SPCA utilizes the Asilomar Accords, a nationally recognized system that categorizes the medical and behavioral conditions of shelter animals. The Accords enable us to determine our Live Release Rate, indentify where we can improve, and determine how our resources are utilized. We invite you to review and celebrate our 2015 Asilomar Accords Annual Animal Statistics Report and our SF SPCA-SFACC Partnership Report.
